CVO 110 Engine issues?
I paid $32k for my 2012, just got $18.5k in trade for a new Heritage.
It's not that it's a 110, it's that it is a Harley. She is high maintenance. If you are coming from Honda, you will not like the time and money you have to keep putting in the HD bikes. When the shift shaft lever stripped out in the Desert last year it really pissed me off because that should last a lifetime. It's just two steel parts bolted together.
But the 2012 CVO SG is one of the nicest SG's out there.
I did lifters, headers and put in a 57H cam at 7000 or so miles. Did lifters again two more times before the 113 kit went in. Still ticked and tapped like a monkey in a cage. (Why do you think they call them tappets?)
Had the heads done as preventative but still broke a valve spring.
